Thought for the Lord’s Day.

Thought for the Lord’s Day

Suppose you received mercy from God proportionate to the mercy you display to others.

Not a comforting thought is it? Actually, it is a disturbing thought! But is it disturbing enough to result in repentance?

Today is a day we set aside for corporate worship. You will praise God for his mercy. But will your praise result in you being more merciful? If if doesn’t then your praise will be empty and self-serving. God doesn’t call you to worship just so you can have a moving experience. He calls you to worship that leads to repentance.He calls you to be merciful as he is merciful.
